Feel better, dcp.

Mom wants me to stay home and rest today, and she’s probably right. I’m exhausted because I’m not used to the hour driving back and forth, and I have to take ltc to karate today and then do the bedtime routine with her because TCG has another meeting tonight. There is definitely clean up and such that can be done at home if I can find the motivation. Papa doesn’t rest when I’m there either. He tries to stay awake for me. I still feel useless and lonely being home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Try to view it as talking care of yourself and your family if you can. It's a hard situation.

Thanks, Dana. I probably should have just gone because I'm not very good at being alone right now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There's no perfect way to live through this, sj. Whatever decisions you make are correct. Its like time freezes or rushes. You're in my thoughts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope you can find a way to rest and recharge, sj. It takes a lot of you, all the big emotions.

I got my Moderna 2nd booster yesterday after having Pfizer for everything earlier, and I was braced for nasty reactions but it hasn't been too bad. I am vaguely weak and tired and have a bit of an elevated temperature, but not as bad as I expected. I am WFH today, though, and thinking about straight up taking a nap shortly.

I'm glad you were able to see your Papa, sj.

My department is getting an award at work, and there's this whole business dress ceremony thing involved. I'm wearing a dress, a jacket, and hose. I haven't worn hose since my job interview here. So strange. But kinda nice to get a bit fancified.

I'm watching Bridgerton S2, which is a little distracting.

Welp, I'm all out of steam but I have a meeting at 1 that I feel like I should try to stay awake for. Ugh.

Our wings are not tired

sj, distraction can be good. Hugs to you and your family.
